In the summer, it's a good idea to carry an umbrella because you never know when the next downpour will start.
An important reminder: On hiking trips and other outdoor excursions, always carry rainwear, extra clothing and lots of water. Let someone know where you're going and when you plan to be back. Sudden storms can bring cold rain or snow. A cell phone also is a good idea. R
